if a tree falls on will riker in the forest, will anyone know what i am talking about?
We recently saw an episode of Star Trek, The Next Generation in which Will Riker wasn't sleeping at all. He would finally drop off after tossing and turning and then suddenly it would be time to wake up. He was looking increasing rough. At one point, he looks at himself in the mirror and pulls down on the the bag under one of his eyes with his finger. My wife immediately yelled, "Hey! You do that!" And it's true. I do that every morning. So my question to the wide world is: why? Do all of you do this or know someone who does? Did I pick it up from Will Riker many years ago when I first saw the episode? Is it some sort of international symbol for not getting enough sleep?

Yeah, it's the international symbol for being a nutter. Perhaps you should cut back on the Star Trek, freak. I bet you've got a cute little red uniform too! It's too bad they did away with the red-shirt tradition. Isn't it time for Riker to be impaled?
Sleep is the thing dreams are made of. Don't question your habits, embrace them. Add a new dimension to your routine. Start checking your ears for hairs. Look for puffy gums. All of these will diminish the attention you've drawn to this nagging habit. Don't we have enough to worry about without having to engage in self analysis everytime we look in the mirror? I suppose you clean the shot glass every morning before you fill it again with whiskey? Move on fella.9
